Shabbat candles usher peace, tranquility, and the holiness of Shabbat into the Jewish home. This beautiful mitzva is a Jewish tradition that has been passed down from mother to daughter since the times of our Matriarch Sarah. The Shabbat candles symbolize the spiritual light that Shabbat infuses into our homes; they reveal the G-dly energy and light that enlivens our existence.
